Before you came alone they already sold 1 seat for ARN-DOH-CMN and 1 seat sold for LHR-DOH-CMN. By the time you come along it now reflects what you see.

QR is happy as they have a lot of seats they expect to sell at a higher price.

The weak point in your logic is that revenue management should make sense from your perspective right now at this point in time, whereas they solely exists to make sense for QR overall.

My point is that allocating seats is illogical when you can alter pricing on the seats instead.
